Cycle 1 stars 6 months after launch, so 30 April 2022 (JD = 2459699.5). It lasts one year, so ends 30 April 2023 (JD = 2460064.5).

Recomputing 1000 posterior samples to forecast transit times through JD = 2460258.0 (11 November 2023) to cover the first 2 years after the start of the JWST mission. Each forecast takes about 19 seconds, for a total of about 5.3 hours.
